Controls
| Action | Keyboard / mouse | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| Move / climb | Arrows or WASD | On-screen D-pad |
| Pepper stun | Space or Z | PEPPER button |
| Pause / mute | P / M | Tap playfield / speaker |
| Start / retry | Space or Enter | Tap overlay |
Arrows or WASD walk and climb ladders. Space or Z shakes pepper — a short stun if you still have shakers. P pauses during a run; M mutes. Space or Enter starts from the title and retries after Game Over. On a phone, the left D-pad is four-way; PEPPER sits on the right. Tap the playfield to pause or resume. Walk the full length of a bun, tomato, meat, or lettuce so the piece falls; a half walk does not count. Three chef lives; five peppers per life.
Strategy and tips
Clear a whole layer in one pass — turning around mid-ingredient wastes the walk. Drop an upper layer onto a villain when you can; crush pays better than pepper. Save shakers for a pinch on a ladder, not for a lonely pickle on the far bun. Finish one stack before you greed the other if foes are clustering. Continues are a tap retry, not a rewarded extra life. Served sandwiches are the trophy; leftover peppers are how calm you were.
Why this cabinet exists
Kitchen-platform cabinets taught a generation that a sandwich is a stack of chores and a villain is a timer. This cabinet locks a 480-by-640 field (16 columns, 20 rows, 30-pixel tiles, plus a 40-pixel HUD): six tiers, three ladders, two sandwich stacks of five layers each, and doors that spawn pickle, ketchup, and mustard foes. Walking a layer knocks it down; a falling stack can crush a villain for points. Pepper is finite. Speed and spawn pressure climb with the level. High score and max level save in localStorage under this origin. The file is self-contained so GamesArsenal can iframe it without a build step.
